5.2 CONTROLLER LAMPS _____________________________________________________

The controller is a solid state device that monitors and

controls electrical functions. The controller receives input

signals from various switches and sensors throughout the

machine and transmits output signals to operate relays,

solenoids and warning lights. It controls and resets timers

and contains built in logic to control certain machine

functions.

Each input and output signal is displayed through lamps

located on top of the controller. A closed input switch

indicates an active circuit and will turn an input lamp on, an

open switch an inactive circuit and will turn a lamp off.

Outputs are active when their lights are on.

It is important to note that in some cases a lamp or group of

lamps must be on or off for a condition to be true. For

example, to start the tractor the Mow Switch must be off

(lamp 8 off) while the Neutral Start Switch (lamp 12), Brake

Switch (lamp 6) and Fuel Valve Hold coil (lamp 27) must be

on.
